Rapper 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) was arrested today while driving his silver Lamborghini Murcielago roadster. He was pulled over for making an unsafe lane change, and subsequently charged for the driving infraction, as well as driving with an expired permit, driving without insurance and driving without a vehicle registration. He was originally pulled over by plainclothes officers, and initially refused to get out of the car, instead making a call on his phone. More officers eventually arrived, and he got out of the car and was handcuffed. Spectators crowded around the scene, cheering the rapper and booing when Mr. Jackson was handcuffed. By the miracle of modern technology, we have a number of camera phone shots after the jump…

I think it’s a setup.
Actually I don’t know. But where’s his license plate, and why wasn’t that one of the things he was cited for? Perhaps this is a setup, to help him regain his criminal image.

Yuck that polished body looks ugly. They stopped him for violating the laws of taste. Thats why all rappers get stopped their cars are so ugly they are moving violations. That’s not really chrome, chrome is shinier because its not brushed on. My polished sunglasses are shiner than this idiot’s car. Impound it and sell it to some sucker.

As a black professional, what a joke and a cliche canned comeback. Freedom of speech, learn it. Yall make racial slurs so can we.

Love to see people use the race card whenever they can. “As a black professional”.. this has NOTHING to do with being black but the fact that if someone drives with no insurance, an expired license, no plates AND drives a flashy lambo like an a-hole around the streets, cops bust you. I laugh my ass off when I see brothers trying to justify other brothers. Being a douchebag’s got nothing to do with the color of the skin. EFF 50 and EFF whoever thinks this sort of behavior should be looked away because he’s black.

You guys are all narrow minded pieces of ****. You don’t understand or listen to enough rap, to make sterotypical comments on it being ‘noise pollution’. It’s one thing not to like one genre of music, or even a particular artist, however, calling a genre of music as ‘noise pollution’, because you don’t listen or understand it. You know wats fed to you on a silver spoon by the media. All the rap that might be the main stream hits that sell, doesn’t consitute all rap. Rap is a huge genre thats been around since the late 70 and not until recently has this new main-stream genre that has come along. Some of the greatest artists and musicians ever were rap artists. Maybe you don’t like 50, and thats fine, however don’t talk **** about a genre of music, you obviously have new idea about, and that your only impression and taste of is what the general media feeds you over the air waves. Somebody obviously likes this ‘noise pollution’ if it’s one of the best selling genres of music there is.

wcnhl57, i agree completely. Everyone stereotypes rap based on the biggest main stream artists that they hear of, the ones they see on MTV for a few seconds, and after that brief exposure to rap they’ve already decided what ALL rap is like, a stereotype in its purest form. There IS rap out there that is geniuenly high quality music, not all of its is 50 cent, there’s stuff out there like Public Enemy, Run DMC, Tupac, Big Pun, Big L, Notorious BIG, Kanye West, Nas, Jay Z, etc etc. Rap that has intricate rhyme schemes, uses alliteration, focuses on inspirational messages of aboloshing prejudice and hate, and shows talent in a variety of manners. Don’t judge it all.
RIcardo Head, the reason people love Tupac is he had songs FULL of amazing messages, like Changes for example, songs that provided inspirational hope for many, that someday society won’t turn its back on those urban poor, that someday prejudice can be eliminated from everyday life. It’s a shame he had to go so soon, I don’t think you’ve listened to enough of his music, clearly.

Exactly, very well put, there are houndreds of thousands of rap artists out there that are real music artists, however, popular culture have steared us away and onto a more main stream sound. Personally, i’m not a fan of the newer rap, however, 90 percent of my music collection is 80’s-90’s rap that is true rap. It’s fine people like the new stuff, it’s there opinion, but those that don’t like it, need to atleast realize, there is other rap out there that is ‘real’ music. Even if you don’t like it, lots of people do, and it’s music just as is every other genre, not just ‘noise pollution’
Ricardo Head, it should be an embarrasment for LLN to have somebody like you on there website, “tupac was great other then he got shot up….thankfully”, who the hell do you think you are to be glad that somebody got shot and killed. I don’t care if you dont’ like him or respect him and what he did, however houndreds of thousands of other people did. People looked up to him and his messages. He got killed because of violence, while he was trying to stop it and stop society from turning there backs on people. Again, it’s unbelivable to me that you would be glad somebody who did nothing but try to help give hope to people, and from coming from what he came from, turned his life into something great.
Sorry to get off on this tangent of music on an automotive site, however, i think it’s prudent to discuss some of the issues that people are disucussing, it’s truley a disgust, some of the comments on this post.

However, it doesn’t suprise me that somebody as narrow minded as you thinks that intelligence comes only in the form of knowing how to write perfectly and do all types of math calcultions. Your a narrow minded punk, my responses to your comments are over, however, if you find some maturity within yourself, it would be nice if you would make some kind of rebuttle in the form of a comment or explanation for what you said or a relization that what you said was showing absolutley no respect to tupac. If you don’t have anything useful to add to our little argument, don’t comment some nonsense comeback, as I will not care, and it will further himiluate you.

James, you obviously havn’t been listening, your knowledge of the rap industry is fed to you in a silver platter by the media, as i’m sure’s the case with everything in your life, somebody has to show you strait through it. Violence and Guns in general, isn’t rap, the rap you think rap is, is listened to by mostly relitively black, poverity ridden communities. They have gangs, and this is y u have the connotation guns and violence goes with rap. Infact, most real rap, sorry, i’m sure your not aware of this, it isn’t usually shown through the media, is actually about peace, and hope for those who grew up in not so well backgrounds. However, that has changed with the new wave of rap, which ironically, sells, partly because of the violence and gang affilations it has.
It amazes me anybody would say some of the things you have said about somebody who was killed
For your sake, hopefully your still in junior high and your maturity level hasn’t quite leveled off yet and you’ll grow out of it, if not, i’m very very sorry for you and i hope you’ll be happy with your 9-5 job which you probably hate, and maybe, maybe, you’ll begin to relize how very wrong you were.

There is nothing racist with thinking 50 cent is a moron. I don’t care if you are black, white, asian, mexican, or even green, you drive like an idiot and get pulled over with out the correct stuff, then make a big deal out of it because you think you are special, you should be punished.

My comments are meant to be witty, there meant to back-up my views, and try to understand yours. I didn’t start attacking you, and neither did anybody else. The reason were in this little argument is because you have a massive disrespect for a person who was innocently killed. As well, you have a massive misconception of rap. I don’t care if you hate it, however, some people do. However, you shouldn’t make sterotypical comments that are so wrong it makes you look stupid. None of your comments have been in defense of what you said about tupac, why you think it was o.k., and why you believe steropically that rap is all crap and about voilence and gangs. You obviously have read my comments as you’ve responded, and I’ve read your pathetic onces in response, don’t act dumb. John L.’s comment was pathetic, ’somebody who can’t spell difintly whouldn’t be calling peoply stupid’ What does that add to the argument. I noticed you had no reponse to me being a junior in high school, and the embarrisment you must feel at not being able to even participate in an argument we having and being to much of a woose to defend your own comments

Wow..Whats up with all the racial comments. Deep down we are all very much alike. Don’t let one persons ignorance or hatred change the way you feel about an entire race. Believe it or not but we have different values and beliefs according to the the environment we were raised in. No matter your race or gender how you grew up determines the person you are. Think about it….If you were born & raised in China, you’d more than likely speak Chinese. Its not rational to determine something so important from a small group of people.
I wouldn’t give in to an out of uniform cop in his position either.Nice Lambo, by the way
